Fantasia and Danielle Brooks stopped by TODAY to promote their upcoming movie The Color Purple. While on the show the ladies song a snippet of Gospel singer Dewayne Woods “Let Go” that brought hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush to tears.
While chatting with the two actors about their roles in the film “The Color Purple,” Hoda and Jenna hinted that they’d love to hear them sing a little something.
“Both of y’all grew up in the Carolinas,” Jenna said, and both stars replied, “Yes.”
“Singing in church …” Hoda continued. “Is there a song that y’all like?”
Brooks caught on quickly and said, “Oh, they’re trying (to make us perform). Is there a song y’all like?”
“No, how about one y’all like?” Hoda replied.
Brooks and Barrino were happy to oblige the TODAY with Hoda & Jenna co-hosts and broke into the song “Let Go” by DeWayne Woods.
